Low stock: 7 left
The zesty and wickedly fresh 2018 Trebbiano d Abruzzo enthralls with a perfumed dusting of confectioners' spice over a core of lemon confit, lime zest and smoke. This is actually playful and energetic on the palate, packed full of acidity and a sizzling of salty minerals that create a reverberation of tension that travels to your core. A coating of primary concentration lingers on the palate through the lightly structured finale, promising longevity despite the 2018's undeniably drinkable character today. Frankly, it's hard not to drink instead of taste.

Valentini, Abruzzo
Like monks preserving illuminated manuscripts, the Valentini family guards Abruzzo’s vinous secrets. Their Trebbiano—golden, oxidative, vibrating with almond skin and sea salt—could fool a white Burgundy blind tasting. Their Montepulciano, fermented on wild yeasts in concrete, weaves tart red fruit with earthy umami in a dance that lasts decades. No websites. No scores. Just bottles that emerge from the cellar when they choose to speak. For those willing to listen, Valentini offers the rarest gift in wine: truth untouched by time.
